The directional arrow (1) on each of the track frames
indicates the machine front and the forward movement of
the machine. Check these arrows before using the travel
control levers/pedals. The track sprocket is at the rear of
the track frame. If the track frame is facing backward, the
travel direction will be opposite the maneuvering direction
of the travel control lever/pedal. The machine will move
forward when you pull the control levers backward and
backward when you push the control levers forward. Left
and right control directions are also reversed when the
track frame faces backward.
